Systems and methods for automatically improving a voice recognition system are provided. In one embodiment, the systems and methods retrieve voice recognition information produced by a voice recognition system in response to recognizing a user utterance. The voice recognition information comprises a recognized voice command associated with the user utterance and a reference to an audio file that includes the user utterance. The audio file is played and it is determined if the recognized voice command matches the user utterance included in the audio file. The user utterance is then transcribed to create a transcribed utterance, if the recognized voice command does not match the user utterance. The transcribed utterance is then recorded in association with the recognized voice command to monitor recognition accuracy.

The invention is directed to methods for treating hyperlipidemia in a mammal. The methods involve combination therapies using a microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) inhibitor (for example, BMS-201038 and implitade) and a cholesterol absorption inhibitor (CAI) (for example, ezetimibe). Co-administration of the MTP inhibitor with the CAI produces a therapeutic benefit, for example, a reduction in the concentration of cholesterol and / or triglycerides in the blood stream, but with fewer or reduced side effects than when higher dosages of the MTP inhibitor are used during monotherapy to provide the same or similar therapeutic benefit.

A channel sounding method in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system is provided. The method, performed by a transmitter, includes transmitting a null data packet announcement (NDPA) frame to a receiver to initiate a channel sounding procedure; transmitting a null data packet (NDP) to the receiver and receiving a feedback frame. The feedback frame includes a plurality of segment frames and a channel feedback report. The channel feedback report is split into a plurality of feedback segments. Each of the plurality of feedback segments is respectively included in each of the plurality of segment frames. The each of the plurality of segment frames includes a first-segment subfield indicating whether the each of the plurality of feedback segment included is a first segment and a remaining-segment subfield indicating the number of remaining feedback segments.

The invention is directed to methods for treating hyperlipidemia in a mammal. The methods involve combination therapies using a microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) inhibitor (for example, BMS-201038 and implitapide) and a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (for example simvastatin or atorvastatin). Co-administration of the MTP inhibitor with the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor produces a therapeutic benefit, for example, a reduction in the concentration of cholesterol and / or triglycerides in the blood stream, but with fewer or reduced side effects than when higher dosages of the MTP inhibitor are used during monotherapy to provide the same or similar therapeutic benefit.

Improvements in the high-temperature wash durability and discoloration levels for fabrics having topically applied silver-ion treatments (such as ion-exchange compounds, like zirconium phosphates, glasses and / or zeolites) are provided. Such solid compounds are generally susceptible to discoloration and, due to the solid nature thereof, are typically easy to remove from topical surface applications, particularly when laundered at elevated temperatures. The inventive treatment requires the presence of a specific cross-linked binder, either as a silver-ion overcoat or as a padded-on component of a cross-linked binder admixed with the silver-ion antimicrobial compound. In addition, specific metal halide additives (preferably substantially free from sodium ions) may be utilized to combat the discolorations typical of such silver-ion formulations. As a result, high-temperature wash durability, discoloration levels, or both, can be improved to the extent that after a substantial number of standard launderings and dryings, the inventive treatment does not wear away in any appreciable amount and the color of the treatment remains substantially the same as when first applied. The particular treatment method, as well as the treated fabrics are also encompassed within this invention.

The use of one or more compositions of one or more disinfecting agents at a relatively high pH to disinfect contact lenses and preserve ophthalmic lens compositions is described. Ophthalmic lens solutions containing one or more compositions of one or more disinfecting agents at a relatively high pH and methods of making and using the same are also described.
